It is inspiring to read how the contraints of the war years drove such social and political innovation: this positive approach is surely the most productive way to confront the enormity of the challenges that are fast coming upon us.</p> I particularly enjoyed the perspective the report gives you by bringing in the fascinating parallels of the 1930s and 1940s, the lessons from history chapter.

“Breaking up the discredited financial institutions”? Sure, great. But who bells the fat cats? The people in power are those who created and profit from the current state of affairs.

The question is not what “they” should do to rectify this state of affairs – because they’re doing quite all right, thanks. The question is, how do the rest of us get enough power to be able to do something real about it? Then and only then will it be time to ask “what should be done?”
